When you don't need the small size of our Miniature or Stick-size WiFi adapter, this guy has a
massive antenna for greater range! Please note we have changed to an adapter that does not
have a removable antenna
If using with a Beagle Bone: Because of the high power required by WiFi, a 5V 2A power
adapter is required to power both the Bone and WiFi. Flaky behavior and crashes may result if
this is not followed! We have a tutorial for using this module with the Beagle Bone!
If using with a Raspberry Pi: The latest Wheezy distributions support this module out-of-the-
box. Also, the Adafruit Occidentalis distribution has support built in. Check out our detailed
tutorial for how to set up WiFi networking on the Pi You may find that you need to have a
powered hub to use this adapter, so if you're having power flakiness with your Pi, try a hub!
